I think Germany is making a stupid move. They are reacting to (mostly unwarranted) public fears. Part of that fear is America’s fault…we were the only country to use nuclear power as a weapon. That will always come to mind of the uninformed public when nuclear power is brought up.
I’d rather see countries spending the money they are spending on properly shutting down dozens of reactors on research and funding of development of new safer, more reliable, and more efficient reactors.
